French Toast demo & Anolon Cookware supports Slow Food KCC!

Our February, USDA sponsored Healthy Cooking Demonstration was a delicious 100% locally sourced Lavender Infused French Toast with Papaya Compote and Honey Butter. The breakfast favorite became something ethereal with the touch of fragrant lavender and amazing local honey and butter! Turnout was excellent with about 150 market-goers stopping by to watch the demo and sample our product. Thanks to the farms supporting our demo including lavender from Ali'i Kula Lavender, honey from Hawaii Beekeeper's Association, butter from Naked Cow Dairy and eggs from Blue Lotus Farms. Our French Toast cooked perfectly and with minimal butter on our fantastic non-stick skillet provided by Anolon Cookware. Thanks to a very generous donation coordinated by Slow Food USA, Anolon Cookware has partnered with Slow Food KCC to provide pots, pans and utensils for use at our Farmer's Market cooking demonstrations!
